[Opening]
[Dm]I won’t just survive, [Bb]oh, you will see me [F]thrive
Can write my [A]story, I’m beyond the [Dm]archetype
I won’t just [Bb]conform, no matter how you shake my [F]core
‘Cause my roots, they run [A]deep, oh
[verse 2]
Oh ye of so little [Dm]faith, don’t doubt it, don’t doubt it
Victory is in my [Bb]veins, I know it, I know it
And I will not [F]negotiate, I’ll fight it, I’ll fight it
I will [A]transform…
[chorus]
[Dm]When, when the fire’s at my [Bb]feet again
And the vultures all start [F]circling
They’re [A]whispering, “you’re out of time.”
But still, I [Dm]rise, this is no mistake, no [Bb]accident
When you think the final [F]nail is in; think again
[A]Don’t be surprised, I will still rise
[verse 3]
[Dm]I must stay [Bb]conscious, through the madness [F]and chaos
So I call on my [A]angels, they say…
[verse 4]
Oh ye of so little [Dm]faith, don’t doubt it, don’t doubt it
Victory is in my [Bb]veins, you know it, you know it
And you will not [F]negotiate, just fight it, just fight it
And be [A]transformed…
[chorus]
‘Cause [Dm]when, when the fire’s at my [Bb]feet again
And the vultures all start [F]circling
They’re [A]whispering, “you’re out of time.”
But still, I [Dm]rise, this is no mistake, no [Bb]accident
When you think the final [F]nail is in; think again
[A]Don’t be surprised, I will still [Dm]rise
[Closing]
Don’t doubt it, don’t doubt, oh oh, oh [Bb]oh
You know it, you know it, still [F]rise
Just fight it, just fight it
[A] Don’t be surprised, I will still rise
